LONDON, 8th Mag, 1889.
THE HONOURABLE THE SECRETARY FOR NATIVE AFFAIRS.
Sm,-Mter a long delay, caused by some years of overwork and many
of ill-health which have followed it, I have herewith the honour to lay before
you, for the information of His Excellency the Governor and the Colonial
Legislature, a report concerning the progress of the Bushman Researches from
1875 to 1884, together with a brief outline of the material collected.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your humble obedient Servant,
LUCY C. LLOYD.
THIRD REPORT CONCERNING BUSHMAN RESEARCHES, WITH A
snORT ACCOUNT OF THE BUSHMAN NATIVE LITERATURE
COLLECTED.
1889.
When, in February, 1875, Dr. Bleek's last Report concerning the Bush-
man Researches was sent in, a Bushman, named Dia.!kwain, from the Katkop
Mountains, north of Calvinia, was with him, whom he hoped shortly to see
joined by his former Bushman Teacher, IIkabbo. During many months, the
arrival of the latter, whom Mr. C. St. L. Devenish, of Van Wyk's Vlei, had
kindly undertaken to send down when an opportunity for so doing should
occur, was vainly looked for, at Mowbray; and, at the end of February, 1876,
a letter from Mr. Devenish informed us that llkabbo had died on the 25th of
the month previous. Dici!kwain, who had continued at Mowbray after the
death of Dr. Bleek (which took place in August, 1875), giving great assistance
in the Bushman work, and looking for the arrival of IIkabbo, left us, for
Calvinia, on the 7th of March, 1876; having long been anxious to visit some
members of his family whose home was in that part of the country and to
obtain news of his children. He promised to return, later, if spared to do so.
After remaining for some little time at Calvinia, in the service of Dr. H.
Meyer, he went into the country (with another Native) in order to visit a
sister; leaving a portion of his wages in his master's care; and intending,
after three weeks' absence, to return, via Calvinia, to Mowbray. He did not,
however, return to Calvinia while Dr. Meyer remained there; and all the
inquiries so kindly made regarding him in that neighbourhood by Dr. and
Mrs. Meyer proved unsuccessful.
After the death of llkabbo, endeavors were made to obtain the assistance
of other members of his family; but, although some of them manifested their
kindly willingness to help us, misfortunes and delays occurred; and, in
January, 1877, his widow, lkwabba-aJi., whose help had been especially desired
in these researches, also died on Mr. Devenish's farm. Finally, through the
kind and persevering exertions of Mr. F. P. Pett, then Civil Commissioner of
Carnarvon, and the kindly-exerted influence of Mr. Devenish, a Bushman,
named IhaIi.=I=kass'o, son-in-law of llkabbo, left Van Wyk's Vlei, on his way to
Mowbray, in April, 1877, accompanied by his wife, S"gobba-likein. After a
long detention at Beaufort West, caused by the illness of the latter, in which
they met with the greatest kindness from the Civil Commissioner, Mr. Garcia,
she died there; and Iha1i=l=kass'o reached Mowbray, alone, on the 10th of
January, 1878. He proved to be an excellent narrator of Bushman lore, and
a thoroughly efficient helper; remaining with us until nearly the end of
December, 1879; when, to our great regret, he returned to Bushmanland.
On the earlier portion of his journey he was befriended by Mr. Innes, C.M.G.,
and by the Civil Commissioners of Beaufort West and Victoria West; and of
his reaching Kenhardt, Mr. J. H. Scott, Border Magistrate, was so good as to
write us word. Our loss of Iha:iL=l=kass'o's services in these researches was
caused by our inability to obtain for him at Mowbray the presence of his only
surviving child; notwithstanding efforts made during nearly two years to this
1
4
end, in which we were most kindly assisted by Messrs. Herold and J. N. P.
de Villiers, Civil Commissioners of Victoria West, and several other gentlemen.
As, on account of the death of his wife on the journey down, IhaIi.:J:kass'o had
arrived without any companion with whom he could converse in his own
language, we endeavored while he was with us to obtain the presence of a
small Bushman family from the Diamond Fields; of which Mr. J. M. Orpen
had kindly written us word. Both Sir Charles Mills and ilis Excellency
Colonel Lanyon most kindly exerted themselves to help us in this endeavor;
but, through an error as to nationality (probably made by some one at the
Fields insufficiently acquainted with the clicking languages), to which,
according to information received from Colonel Lanyon, later, a statement
made by the Natives themselves appears to have contributed, - a family of
Hottentots arrived at Mowbray, on the 24th of January, 1879, instead of the
Bushman family we had desired to obtain. As these Natives reached us in
poor condition, and had lost one child on the journey down, it was not possible
to return them at once, in order to obtain the Bushman family in their stead;
and, later, the health of the mother rendered a further delay needful. They
were, finally, on the 13th of January, 1880, sent up to Kimberley; and of
their safe arrival and finding employment, Mr. Innes, C.M.G., was so good as
to write us word. From the father, Piet Lynx, a Koranna Hottentot from
the neighbourhood of Mamusa, some additions to the small amount as yet
accessible in Koranna-Hottentot were taken down, as well as a few pieces of
Native literature.
It had been greatly desired by Dr. Bleek to gain information regarding
the language spoken by the Bushmen met with beyond Damaraland; and,
through the most kind assistance of Mr. W. Coates Palgrave (to whom this
wish was known), two boys of this race (called by itself Ikun), from the country
to the north-east of Damaraland, were, on the 1st of September, 1879, placed
with us, for a time, at Mowbray. They were finally, according to promise,
sent back to Damaraland, on their way to their own country, under the kind
care of Mr. Eriksson, on the 28th of March, 1882. From these lads, named
respectively !nanni and Tamme, much valuable information was obtained.
They were, while with us, joined, for a time, by permission of the Authorities,
on the 25th of March, 1880, by two younger boys from the same region,
named luma, and Da. The latter was very young at the time of his arrival;
and was believed ~ y the elder boys to belong to a different tribe of Ikuit.
luma left us, for an employer found for him by Mr. George Stevens, on the
12th of December, 1881, and D ~ was replaced in Mr. Stevens' kind care on
the 29th of March, 1884. The language spoken by these lads (the two elder
of whom, coming from a distance of fifty miles or so apart, differed slightly,
dialectically, from each other) proved unintelligible to 1hali.:J:kass'o, as was his
to them. They looked upon the Bushmen of the Cape Colony as being another
kind of Ikmi; and IhaIi.:J:kass'o, before he left us, remarked upon the existence
of a partial resemblance between the language of the Grass Bushmen, and that
spoken by the IkUIi.. As far as I could observe, the language spoken by these
lads appears to contain four clicks only; the labial click, in use among the
Bushmen of the Cape Colony, etc., being the one absent; and the lateral click
being pronounced in a slightly different manner. The degree of relationship
between the language spoken by the Ikuil, and that of the Bushmen of the
Cape Colony (in which the main portion of our collections had been made) has
still to be determined. The two elder lads were fortunately also able to
furnish some specimens of their native traditionary lore; the chief figure in
which appears to be a small personage, possessed of magic power, and able to
assume almost any form; who, although differently named, bears a good deal
of resemblance to the Mantis, in the mythology of the Bushmen. The power
'* When questioned about this, Piet Lynx explaIned, that, such as he were styled "Bushman-
Hottontots" In that part of the country.
{)
of imitating sounds, both familiar and unfamiliar to them, as well as the
actions of animals, possessed by these boys, was astonishing. They also showed
a certain power of representation, by brush and pencil. The arrows made by
them were differently feathered, and more elaborately so than those in common
use among the Bushmen of the Cape Colony.
It was also rendered possible for me, through the kindness of Mr. and
Mrs. Conrath, and of Mrs. van Zyl, respectively, to collect, during several
months of 1877, some information from a boy, and in May, 1878, from a young
woman, of mixed descent, from the neighbourhood of Lake N gami; who were
said to speak the (so-called) "Bushman language" of that part of the country.
To most of the words and sentences given by the young woman, the corre-
sponding terms, in Hottentot, were kindly added by the Rev. J. G. Kr6nlein.
Besides the informants already mentioned, material has been taken down
from a good many other Native sources; including several Natives who were
with us for short periods only.
In Bushman, since May, 1875, the collections made amount to about
4534 hali-pages or columns (in 54 volumes quarto); about 1776 of which
have been translated into English, mainly with the help of the narrators.
Dr. Bleek had also made much progress in dividing and sorting the entries for
his Bushman-English Dictionary; upon which sorting he was engaged during
the last weeks of his life, and had, on the last night, nearly comploted. In
the language of the IkUIi, about 1233 hali-pages or columns (contained in 15
volumes quarto) have been written down; about 1103 of which are accom-
panied by translation into English. Besides this, 62 hali-pages (in two
volumes quarto) were collected for me; 56 of which are translated; and three
were kindly furnished by Mr. Black, who had, while in the interior, acquired
some knowledge of this language. The collections made from the two Natives
from the neighbourhood of Lake Ngami number about 104 hali-pages or
columns (including 28 of also collected from the boy), in two
volumes quarto; almost the whole of which is accompanied by translation
into English.
A short account of the Bushman material, collected since Dr. Bleek's last
Report was in the course of being printed, is given below.
A. MYTHOLOGY, FABLES, LEGENDS, AND POETRY.
I. The Mantza.
1. The Mantis and his son-in-law Ikwammana are both to be seen in
the rainbow; the Mantis uppermost and IkwammaiJa undemeath.-Related by
lhairtkass'o. (L VIII.-7. 6600 rev. & 6601 rev., translated.)
2. The names of the wife, son, and daughter of the Mantis.-By
IhairJ:kass'o. (L VIII.-l. 6137 rev.)
3. The three children of the Mantis.-By IhaIi.:J:kass'o. (L VIII.-12.
7074 rev.-7076 rev ., Note, translated.)
4. The Mantis (Ikaggifn) makes and brings up a young eland. Ikwam-
mana, who is informed of its existence by the Ichneumon, kills it, to the grief
of lkaggifn. The latter, having pierced the gall of the dead eland, takes an
ostrich feather to wipe it from his eyes; which feather he then throws up into
the sky, ordering it to become the moon. .A. description of porcupine hunting,
in which the moonlight is of service, follows.-This story, which IhaIi.:J:kass'o
had from his mother, Ixabbi-aiL, throws light upon one or two points which
had remained somewhat obscure in the versions earlier collected. (L VIII.-6.
6505-6595i )
5. The son of the Mantis is killed by the Baboons, and restored to lllo
by his father.-This piece contains specimens of the manner in which the
Bushman language is supposed to be spoken by baboons.-By IhaiL=I=kass'o.
(L VIII.-II. 6978-7014, 12. 7065-7094, partly translated.)
6. the Blue Crane, and the Girls of the early race.-By
Ihari=l=kass'o. (L VIII.-29. 8526-8554, translated.)
7. The Frog, the Blue Crane, the Frog's husband, and the Beetle.-By
lhail=l=kass'o. (L VIII.-32. 8812-8820, partly translated.)
8. The Blue Crane, the two Lions, and the Mantis. In this story, the
Blue Crane, while searching for the Frog's husband, is killed and eaten by
the Lions, and restored to life by the Mantis.-By Ihan=l=kass'o. (L VIII.-32.
8794-8811, translated.)
9. The Mantis visits the abode of the Ticks, attempts to take some of
their food, and is well beaten by them. He flies away, goes into the water,
and returns home; where he is pitied and lectured by the Ichneumon.-By
IhaIi.=I=kass'o. (L VIII.-3. 6236-6258, 6267-6269.) In a further account
of the Mantis and the Ticks, given by the same narrator, the Mantis pays a
visit to the houses of the Ticks, is worsted by them, and escapes. Having
been counselled by Ikwammana, through the young Ichneumon, he goes again
to the Ticks, gets the better of them, and brings their sheep home. (L VIII.
-20. 7790-7811.) This is followed by an account, given by the same
narrator, of the visit of IIkhwai-hemm (the All-devourer) to the Mantis. The
latter, by means of the Porcupine, invites IIkhwai-hemm to visit him. He
comes, and presently swallows Ikwammaila and the Mantis. They are rescued
by young IkwammaIia and another child, who cut the monster open. (L VIII.
-20. 7812-7816,22. 7906-7956.}-lIkhwai-hemm is stated, by Ihail=l=kass'o
(on the information of his mother, to be the father of the Porcupine.
(L VIII.-10. 6934 rev., Note.)
10. The Ikwai-fkwai, the Mantis, and the Children. The
who was formerly a man, and is now a bird (in appearance somewhat re-
sembling a "duiker "), comes, during the absence of their parents, to kill tho
children. They are defended by the Mantis, who causes the death of Ikwai-
Ikwai.-By lhan=l=kass'o. (L VIII.-3. 6304-6322, 4. 6323-6333.}--A
note to the above story was also given by Ihan=l=kass'o. (L VIII.-18. 7596,
7597 and 7595 rev.)
11. whose grandchild is carried off by Elephants, and recovered
by himself.-By IhaIi.=I=kass'o. (L VIII.-4. 6334-6413, 5.6414-6455.)
12. The Mantis and IkwammaiLa go out visiting together. The Mantis
involves himself in a quarrel with a young "Dasse" (Hyrax . . . .), and
stones fall upon him IkwammaIia. The latter, upon whom they lie loosely,
is first rescued; while the Mantis owes his rescue to the entreaties of his wife,
who prevails upon the people to take him out.-His teasing and troublesome
ways are much blamed.-By IhaIi=l=kass'o. (L VIII.-2. 6165-6193, and
6195.)
Another version of the story of the Crow Messengers ( 40 in Dr. Bleek's
"Brief Account of Bushman Folk-lore," Cape Town, 1875) appears, here, in
connexion with the adventure related above; IkwammaIia and his companion
being, in this instance, those who were found by the successful bird ( Oorvu8
8capulatu8).-By IhaiJ.=I=kass'o. (L VIII.-2. 6147-6157, partly translated.)
By the same narrator was also given the Rescue of IkwammaIia and the
Mantis, and their return home. The Blue Crane, who is the elder sister of
Ikaggen, pities his sad condition.-Specimens of the peculiar manner in which
the BiIshman language is spoken by the wife of and by the Ichneu-
mon, respectively, are here given. (L VIII.-2. 6196-6231, 3. 6232-
6236.)-A note regarding the a member of the party which went
to the rescue of IkwammaIia and his companion, was also given by IhaIi.=I=kass'o.
(L VIII.-2. 6195 rev. and 6196 rev.)
7
13. The Mantis and K6ro-tuiten. The Mantis learns from Koro-tuiton
how to obtain" Bushman-rice" (i.e.o larvae of the ants) with ease; but,
ungratefully towards his instructor, he soon loses his newly-acquired power.-
By 1haD.=tkass'o. (L VIII.-10. 6885-6939, partly translated.)-A note, by
the same informant, states that was formerly a man of the early
race. (L VIII.-IO. 6885 rev., translated.)
14. The above piece is followed by the account of a visit paid by Ikwam-
mana, with the young Ichneumon and the Mantis, to the abode of the
" Loffelhund " (Proteles); where the Mantis again gets into trouble. (This
misadventure is mentioned in 8 of Dr. Bleek's "Second Report concerning
Bushman Researches," already referred to.)-By IhaIi=tkass'o. (L VIII.-10.
6939-6944, !1. 6945-6977, partly translated.)
15. who could enter fire unharmed, enables the Mantis to
do the same. The ingratitude of the latter to his instructor again brings him
into trouble; and his newly-acquired power deserts him.-By Ihan=tkass'o.
(L VIII.-11. 7015-7031, 12. 7032-7064, partly translated.)
This adventure appears to have taken place later than that with K6ro-
note regarding was also given by the same narrator.
(L VIII.-2. 6230 rev.) .
16. The Wildebeest, the Mice, the Quaggas, and the Mantis.-By
IhaiL=tkass'o. (L VIII.-30. 8651-8667, translated.)
17. The 11ffi4ii (a lizard of the Genus A.qama) and his daughter, the Mice,
and the Mantis.-By IhaIi=tkass'o. (L VIII.-30. 8671-8702, 31. 8703-

19. The Ikain-lkain, the Girls, and the Mantis.-By IhaIi.=tkass'o.
(L VIII.-3. 6271-6277, 6279-6303.) .An explanation of the cry of the
Ikain-Ikain is also given by IhaIi.:J:kass'o (L VIII.-3. 6301 rev.); and a
short description of the lkain-Ikain, as a bird existing in Bushmanland at the
present day, is referred to ( 137) under the heading of Natural History.

himself into a Hare, in order to protect the Gemsbok.-By lha:ri.=tkass'o.
(L VIII.-23. 8036 rev.-8038 rev., Note, translated.)-By the same
narrator was given an account of the doings of the Mantis when an Eland has
been wounded. (L VIII.-23. 8033-8039, translated.)-It was also
stated by him that the Bushmen were formerly Springbok, and were changed
into Bushmen by the Mantis. (L VIII.-4. 6365 rev.)-The Mantis is
further said, by the Bushmen, to have given places their names.-By
lha:ri.=tkass'o. (L VIII.-12. 7033 rev. and 7034 rev., Note, translated.)

IV. Animal Fables.
36. In former times, when animals were people, the Baboons were jealous
of a young Quagga woman, who lived with them, on account of the notice
attracted by her great size. For this reason, as well as for her fatness, they
killed her; telling the other people that her flesh was that of a young gemsbok.
-In the Katkop dialect, by Dia!kwain, who had it from his father xaiittiti.

To Mr. Roland Trimen, F.R.S., Curator of the South-African Museum,
most grateful thanks are hereby rendered for the kind and ever-ready help
afforded to us in the pursuance of these researches. To the late Mr. H. W.
Oakley, we are indebted for much kind assistance with regard to the scientific
names of animals known to the Bushmen; and to Mr. H. Bolus for those of
some plants which were kindly supplied by him.
From Mr. Charles Weisbecker, and Dr. Fischer, kind assistance was re-
ceived in the endeavor to record some of the airs sung by the Bushmen: a
task of peculiar difficulty, not only on account of the particular character of
the Bushman music, but, by reason of the smallness of some of the intervals
employed.
It is impossible adequately to acknowledge the enormous help in the
Bushman researches which has been afforded by the copies of Bushman
drawings and paintings, particularly by the very large collection made by the
late Mr. G. W. Stow: for which it is hoped that means of publication may
eventually be found. To Messrs. H. C. Schunke, Thomas Bain, and Richard
Orpen, very grateful thanks are also due for the collections made, or con-
tributed, by themselves, now deposited in the Grey Library; likewise to Mr.
E. J. Dunn, for his kind assistance with regard to Bushman pictures and
other Native matters, and to the Hon. Dr. W. G. Atherstone, M.L.C., and
the late Mr. C. S. Orpen, for information concerning Bushman paintings
kindly supplied by them. A very interesting set of copies of Bushman
paintings, presented to His Excellency the late Sir Bartle Frere in Natal by
the late Oolonel Durnford, most kindly lent to us for a time, threw some
additional light on the subject of Bushman art. Not only has the work of
each collector materially helped in elucidating that of the rest, but, some very
curious ideas, possessed by the Bushmen, which would probably otherwise
not have come to light at all, have become known to us in the course of their
endeavors to explain some of the pictures submitted to them.
The aid afforded by Mr. W. Schroder, in his execution of Bushman
portraits, and by Mr. W. Hermann, in many kindly-taken and characteristic
Native photographs, must also be gratefully recorded.
For friendly help, of various kinds, in the prosecution of our work,
grateful acknowledgment must be made to the Revds. Dr. O. H. Hahn, J. G.
Kronlein, J. Rath, H. Tindall, and A. R. M. Wilshere, as well as to Messrs.
Alston, L. Anthing, T. E. Fuller, M.L.A., M. J. Jackson, and E. A. Judge,
Oivil Oommissioners, A. Martin, Advocate Innes, Dr. van Oordt, and the late
Dr. P. G. Stewart of Rondebosch.
The friendly assistance invariably afforded by the Rev. G. H. R. Fisk,
during so many years Ohaplain at the Breakwater, must also be most grate-
fully acknowledged; as well as the kindly aid of the late Mr. Hawthorne;
and that of Mr. George Stevens in matters connected with the Native Depart-
ment generally.
To Their Excellencies Sir Henry Barkly, the late Sir Bartle Frere, and
the late Sir Owen Lanyon (who also kindly caused inquiry to be made re-
garding traces of Bushmen in the Transvaal), to the late Sir John Molteno,
Sir Thomas Scanlen, the Hon. Messrs. Brownlee and Ayli:ff, to the former as
well as to the present Under-Oolonial Secretary, to the late Mr. H. E. Richard
Bright, the former, and to the present Under-Secretary for Native Affairs,
very grateful thanks for much kind help are due.
Likewise, to the Government and Parliament of the Oolony, for the
generous aid which has enabled these researches to be carried on.
